Speaker 2: Woo woo woo.

David: I think you called him.

Brother Jim: Oh. My friends David and I are on the hunt for Bigfoot.

Brother Jim: And yes, this is Bible bibs in a prayer.

Brother Jim: But in between, we ran out.

Brother Jim: Because you notice I got my Bigfoot hat on and I changed

Brother Jim: into my camo.

Brother Jim: We are on a mission to call the

Brother Jim: man in because we want him on

Brother Jim: the show.

Brother Jim: We're getting closer, so make

Brother Jim: sure you keep tuning in because

Brother Jim: we will get him in here

Brother Jim: eventually.

Brother Jim: Oh friends, it is time.

Brother Jim: It is time for Bible bibs and a prayer.

Brother Jim: Let me and my main man.

Brother Jim: We are up here.

Brother Jim: As we said the other day, we had some technical difficulties so

Brother Jim: we had to reshoot everything so it might get a little crazy.

Brother Jim: But hey, you know what?

Brother Jim: If the man decides to show up.

David: We are prepared.

Brother Jim: We're prepared.

Brother Jim: Yeah. I'm gonna hand the bat to David and run.

Brother Jim: Man, I forgot my Slim Jims.

Brother Jim: We're gonna have to have a pack of Slim Jims in here.

Brother Jim: A box of them, just in case.

Brother Jim: Uh, yes, but.

Brother Jim: Hey, welcome, welcome, welcome, everybody.

Brother Jim: The boys are back in town.

Brother Jim: We are ready to go.

Brother Jim: And, uh, we're still fighting through some of these little

Brother Jim: difficulties, but, David, he's like an old hound dog.

Brother Jim: He's on the trail sniffing out the problems.

Brother Jim: So if you hear him going.

Brother Jim: Oh. No, he's on the trail.

Brother Jim: But, uh, hey, we're glad to have you myself, David, and little

Brother Jim: Ida Lee here.

Brother Jim: Don't you worry, baby.

Brother Jim: He won't get you.

Brother Jim: I don't know, that might not be a good idea.

Brother Jim: We could use her as bait.

Brother Jim: I couldn't do that to Ida Lee.

Brother Jim: But yes, it's time, my friends, for Bible bibs and prayer.

Brother Jim: So grab that cup of coffee.

Brother Jim: A little bit of jet fuel, some turbo for this Thursday morning.

Brother Jim: And if you're watching this in the afternoon, you're watching

Brother Jim: it late night.

Brother Jim: Head on over to the old refrigerator or the cupboard.

Brother Jim: Grab yourself some snacks.

Brother Jim: Let us know what your favorite snacks are.

Brother Jim: It doesn't just have to be

Brother Jim: breakfast breakfast because we

Brother Jim: are twenty four over seven on

Brother Jim: this.

Brother Jim: I mean, you can go back and watch old editions.

Brother Jim: Uh, that's the great thing about technology, you know?

Brother Jim: Yeah, but, uh, yeah, let us know what you like to snack on.

Brother Jim: Now, last night I was good, David.

Brother Jim: I had, uh, some raspberries and some grapes.

David: That's good.

Brother Jim: Yeah, that was good.

Brother Jim: Yeah. Followed up by two hamburgers.

Brother Jim: Not just the just the burger.

Brother Jim: Just the burger protein.

David: Okay.

Brother Jim: Protein. Yeah. So, yeah, gotta watch this girly figure in mind.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Of course I'm killing myself if Bigfoot finds me.

Brother Jim: Because if he had to pick between me and Brenton.

Brother Jim: I think I know who's going down first.

David: You got more flavor.

Brother Jim: Yeah, that's where the baseball bat comes in.

Brother Jim: Brenton hit you in the knee and run.

Brother Jim: You're on.

David: Your own.

David: You don't have to be the fastest guy.

David: You just have to be faster than the other guy.

Brother Jim: That's right.

Brother Jim: A little smarter, too.

David: That's right.

Brother Jim: But hey, get yourself going this morning.

Brother Jim: This evening, whatever time you're joining us, and

Brother Jim: especially if you're in a different time zone.

Brother Jim: Hey, we would love to hear from where.

Brother Jim: Now David can track.

Brother Jim: People are coming in and the last time we checked, we had

Brother Jim: over twenty different countries.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Uh, and of course, getting

Brother Jim: stirred up, you know, let them

Brother Jim: know.

Brother Jim: And, uh, again, we would love.

Brother Jim: Oh my goodness, love to have

Brother Jim: somebody from another country

Brother Jim: tune in, drop us some comments

Brother Jim: on what's going on, what's your

Brother Jim: name?

Brother Jim: And we will do our best to communicate with you because

Brother Jim: man, that would be sweet.

Brother Jim: And maybe exchange some Bigfoot facts, you know, to help us find

Brother Jim: the man, the myth, the legend.

David: So we could probably even bring them in live and have them live

David: remote as a game that we could we could pull that off.

Brother Jim: One of my classes last year there was a dude from Fiji.

Brother Jim: Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool.

Brother Jim: I mean, here we are face to face time.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: In that or zooming.

Brother Jim: Excuse me.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You know guys in Fiji.

David: It's wild.

Brother Jim: It is.

Brother Jim: It is so, uh.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: Technology.

Brother Jim: What a thing.

Brother Jim: And that's what allows us to

Brother Jim: come to you guys because David

Brother Jim: and I, our vision is still

Brother Jim: strong here.

Brother Jim: You know, David brought up a

Brother Jim: very important point the other

Brother Jim: day.

Brother Jim: What is what is our vision now?

Brother Jim: Bible bibs and prayer has a pretty hard core vision.

Brother Jim: And we're going to get there

Brother Jim: slow and steady, but we're

Brother Jim: getting there and we would love

Brother Jim: to take this on the road a

Brother Jim: little bit, have some fun with

Brother Jim: it.

Brother Jim: But figuring out time, times the big thing for us.

Brother Jim: But by golly, I'm hoping this

Brother Jim: year we can have some outdoor

Brother Jim: events, especially doing that

Brother Jim: barbecue.

Brother Jim: Yep.

Brother Jim: You know.

David: Time, money and talent.

David: If we just had those three things, we'd be.

David: Oh, we.

Brother Jim: Got the talent, brother.

Brother Jim: We got the talent.

David: I mean talent on loan from God, as I used to say.

Brother Jim: But, uh, hey, you know what, friends?

Brother Jim: Why should you never take sides

Brother Jim: in an argument at the dinner

Brother Jim: table?

Brother Jim: Trick question.

Brother Jim: It's perfect time to take sides

Brother Jim: because no one's paying

Brother Jim: attention.

Brother Jim: Bring Tupperware.

Brother Jim: And as we discussed the other day, I always love.

Brother Jim: You know what's Methodist?

Brother Jim: We love to eat.

Brother Jim: Have them Sunday dinners, you know.

Brother Jim: And I've always chuckled that

Brother Jim: people who bring their

Brother Jim: Tupperware dishes, they

Brother Jim: pre-planned.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And as I said, you know, they got the Cool Whip they got.

David: But why do they feel the need to

David: put their initials on the Cool

David: Whip?

Brother Jim: Cool whip.

David: Container.

David: You can't get another one for three dollars.

David: I mean, I don't get it.

Brother Jim: And you know, you go to our life center.

Brother Jim: God bless the women.

Brother Jim: There are jam, jelly jars, spaghetti jars.

Brother Jim: I mean, whoever brings that all in because it comes in handy.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Especially when we do soup and stuff like that.

Brother Jim: I mean, you don't know what type

Brother Jim: of take home tray box jar you're

Brother Jim: going to get from rocks for

Brother Jim: church.

Brother Jim: So but yeah, I've always loved that.

Brother Jim: And I was telling David there, there's this one comedian, he's

Brother Jim: deceased now and he was on the crude side, but he, he was very

Brother Jim: he was not politically correct.

Brother Jim: And that's what I loved about him.

Brother Jim: And he grew up down in Arkansas.

Brother Jim: And he said, you know, we didn't have black and white down there.

Brother Jim: We just had poor.

Brother Jim: That was the defining, you know, poor.

Brother Jim: And he said, you know, you're poor when you're eating your

Brother Jim: cereal out of a Cool Whip bowl that's got spaghetti stains in

Brother Jim: it, salsa stains in it.

Brother Jim: And I'm like, brother, I know

Brother Jim: exactly what you're talking

Brother Jim: about.

Brother Jim: You've got one of them special

Brother Jim: dishes, you know, kind of a

Brother Jim: multi-purpose.

Brother Jim: We got the good dishes out tonight.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Yes. Bring that Tupperware.

Brother Jim: So in saying all that.

Brother Jim: Good morning friends.

Brother Jim: Good morning world.

Brother Jim: Welcome to the show Late Night Edition.

Brother Jim: Let's turn this from a conversation into an experience.

Brother Jim: And if you're hanging with these

Brother Jim: two, two cool cats and Miss Ida

Brother Jim: Lee and maybe Bigfoot outside,

Brother Jim: it is going to be a cool, very

Brother Jim: interesting experience.

Brother Jim: So, uh, what is up everyone?

Brother Jim: What is going on in your world?

Brother Jim: It's been a while.

Brother Jim: Like four or five weeks.

Brother Jim: Kind of missed you all.

Brother Jim: And I'm sure you missed us.

Brother Jim: So, uh, we're back.

Brother Jim: Like I said, we still got some improvements to make.

Brother Jim: Like, any move, as I said earlier, takes a little time.

Brother Jim: And, uh, we're getting there.

Brother Jim: And when it's all said and done.

Brother Jim: I think you will be very impressed.

Brother Jim: So impressed that you might actually not be ashamed to tell

Brother Jim: your friends that you watch us.

Brother Jim: But, uh, yeah, we're off and running.

Brother Jim: but hey, we're up.

Brother Jim: That's the main thing.

Brother Jim: And everything else will just fall into place.

Brother Jim: But, uh.

Brother Jim: But anyway, if you think that intro was somewhat good,

Brother Jim: mediocre, and you got a mediocre host, well, you just wait.

Brother Jim: This is where the night even gets better.

Brother Jim: Every, as I said, mediocre host.

Brother Jim: They need and they desperately need a good co-host.

Brother Jim: And lucky for you, I tell you what, he's right up there with

Brother Jim: Bob Uecker, color commentator.

Brother Jim: You got a great one in this, man.

Brother Jim: And as I've said before, you know what?

Brother Jim: I'm feeling so emotional right now.

Brother Jim: I'm gonna take my hat off for you, David.

Brother Jim: He is a man among men.

Brother Jim: He has a face that only a mother could love.

Brother Jim: He goes around kissing babies,

Brother Jim: shaking hands, and getting

Brother Jim: little kitty cats down out of

Brother Jim: trees.

Brother Jim: And he's pretty good on the old grill, too.

Brother Jim: The moment that you've all been waiting for.

Brother Jim: The one, the only Mr. David Keener, and.

Brother Jim: Oh, don't you dare, dare, dare forget.

Brother Jim: Plus, he's one of my very best friends in the whole wide world.

Brother Jim: Good morning.

Brother Jim: Good evening, my friend.

David: Good morning.

David: Good evening.

David: Well, you know, you talked about technical issues here, and it's

David: this kind of stuff that just makes me pull my hair out.

David: Nothing makes sense.

David: Oh. Nothing changed.

David: It was moved it from one room to another room.

David: And now the audio cuts out.

David: So we had a little bit of that on Tuesday.

David: I've tried a couple things.

David: Hopefully this one will be better.

David: But I did want to mention though that, you know, we were busy

David: while we were off.

David: I don't know if people saw, but we were in the Olympics.

David: We did bobsledding.

Brother Jim: And we were tearing it up.

David: And we've got we watched it again.

David: Yeah we won.

David: We won fifty second place in bobsledding.

Brother Jim: And it was like sixty teams.

David: Yeah, well, probably fifty one, but.

Brother Jim: Well, I was hoping you were

Brother Jim: going to say if you couldn't

Brother Jim: make it.

Brother Jim: Did you see?

Brother Jim: Was it the American bobsledder

Brother Jim: that the whole team fell out

Brother Jim: except for the the one in the

Brother Jim: front?

David: I did see.

Brother Jim: That.

David: Nice. That's. Yeah. That's something we would have done.

Brother Jim: So yeah.

Brother Jim: I keep going back to that great movie Cool Runnings, man.

Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah.

Brother Jim: Great.

Brother Jim: Late John Candy, the Jamaican bobsled.

David: They had them on the Olympics.

David: The Jamaicans were there.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Great movie.

Brother Jim: But yeah.

Brother Jim: Uh, yeah, man.

Brother Jim: Maybe we can find it in the budget to go to Jamaica.

David: That'd be nice.

Brother Jim: Interview some of them guys.

Brother Jim: I mean, I'm sure they're still around.

David: Oh, yeah.

Brother Jim: Yeah, that would be kind of cool.

Brother Jim: Yep.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: But, boy, I don't know.

Brother Jim: Oh, yes.

Brother Jim: David has kept us busy with those comical, comical videos.

Brother Jim: I mean, how much did you win on, uh, just.

David: Not much on the final round.

David: I bet the bet the bank and just.

David: Yeah, it went out the window, so.

Brother Jim: Yeah, but I mean, we had jeopardy.

Brother Jim: Of course we had the Super Bowl with us.

Brother Jim: Just man, I thought I looked like Walter Payton running

Brother Jim: across there for a little bit.

David: I had us on The Price is Right.

David: So good.

David: So we kind of had.

Brother Jim: The whole home improvement thing.

David: That was great.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah.

Brother Jim: The that was just it's.

David: Funny what you can do with AI.

Brother Jim: And we got more coming.

Brother Jim: Yeah. Because just to give you a little preview, uh, and you

Brother Jim: know, Teemu, you can get a lot.

Brother Jim: I haven't done it yet, but you

Brother Jim: get a lot of nice junk, decent

Brother Jim: stuff on there for a cheap

Brother Jim: price.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

David: It's like the online harbor freight.

Brother Jim: Yes. But, uh, you know what?

Brother Jim: Some nice things come out of

Brother Jim: there, but we've got another

Brother Jim: background set.

Brother Jim: Yeah, man, it is going to be

Brother Jim: you're going to want to get on

Brother Jim: your swimming trunks and sit

Brother Jim: with us.

Brother Jim: Let me just say that because

Brother Jim: we've got a ton of comedy coming

Brother Jim: to, you know, just those little

Brother Jim: pick me ups to get you through

Brother Jim: the day.

Brother Jim: So, uh, again, a lot of things planned here.

Brother Jim: Uh, I know we keep saying that, but again, folks, it just takes

Brother Jim: time and money.

Brother Jim: And, uh, it's really just the two of us here.

David: On a, on an eight dollar budget.

Brother Jim: Yeah. And that doesn't even

Brother Jim: cover our, uh, McDonald's drive

Brother Jim: thru.

Brother Jim: Uh, of course we got to get pig feed.

Brother Jim: That's right, little idol.

Brother Jim: Lee here.

Brother Jim: So, uh, big plans for the weekend.

David: I think I've got a week off from birthday party, so I think we're

David: good there for a little bit.

David: That's good.

David: No, I don't have anything going

David: on for this weekend that I know

David: of.

David: So.

Brother Jim: Uh, I think I'm taking Ellie out

Brother Jim: Friday night to Dave and

Brother Jim: Buster's.

Brother Jim: I've been trying to do that.

David: That's fun.

David: That's expensive, but that's fun.

Brother Jim: It is.

Brother Jim: We went about a month and a half ago, and it was a blast.

Brother Jim: First time I ever been there and the food was excellent.

David: It was really good.

Brother Jim: I was shocked.

Brother Jim: I mean, and that, uh, that sauce they bring out for, uh, we got

Brother Jim: the hot dogs and the crescent rolls as an appetizer.

Brother Jim: Some kind of honey.

Brother Jim: Yeah, whatever.

Brother Jim: But it had a little heat to it.

David: Mhm.

Brother Jim: I mean, I said, you guys need to bottle this.

Brother Jim: It's that good.

Brother Jim: Kind of like yum, yum sauce for when you go to the.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Not like yum yum sauce, but you just you can't get enough of it.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: So but no, I was very impressed with the the food.

David: Yeah, I've been there a long

David: time, but I remember it was

David: really good last time I was

David: there.

Brother Jim: And it's expensive.

David: Too. Yeah. Yeah.

Brother Jim: But once in a while, you know, and you got to have that time,

Brother Jim: you know, because she's growing up so quick and, you know, a

Brother Jim: shout out to Ellie.

Brother Jim: Um, I, I'm gonna take a minute

Brother Jim: here or I, I don't want to cut

Brother Jim: you off.

Brother Jim: Anything else?

David: No, sir. No. You're good.

Brother Jim: abilities.

Brother Jim: It's a new ministry we started.

Brother Jim: Uh, one lady in particular,

Brother Jim: Kelly, had this calling to do a

Brother Jim: ministry for special needs

Brother Jim: adults.

Brother Jim: And it went well for our grand opening.

Brother Jim: And, uh, the whole theme behind

Brother Jim: it for the first four series,

Brother Jim: and I got to tell you, this is

Brother Jim: all scripture based, which is

Brother Jim: great.

Brother Jim: It's wrestling, wrestling with God.

Brother Jim: And in this group of very beautiful people, you got a lot

Brother Jim: of pro wrestling fans.

Brother Jim: So I'm a sucker for Embarrassment.

Brother Jim: Well, in any good promo like

Brother Jim: that, you gotta have the real

Brother Jim: deal, right?

David: Sure.

Brother Jim: So one thing leads to another.

Brother Jim: Kind of like David and I, we

Brother Jim: just start building off of each

Brother Jim: other's ideas.

Brother Jim: I think it's a dude thing, you know?

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Before you knew it, not your man was born now and not yo, man.

Brother Jim: So I got on Amazon and ordered a gold cape, had a yellow do rag

Brother Jim: on my head.

Brother Jim: Wristbands armband or the, uh, elbow protectors.

Brother Jim: Pretty similar to wrestling boots.

Brother Jim: And I had the Nacho man shirt

Brother Jim: and, uh, let's just say it was

Brother Jim: the bomb.

Brother Jim: We had signs made up, and I gave them to some people, and I came

Brother Jim: out to music, of course.

Brother Jim: Did a couple twirly birds, you know, which, thank God I didn't

Brother Jim: get dizzy and take out somebody.

Brother Jim: And I tried my best with that deep, heavy voice, but I took up

Brother Jim: a thing of nacho cheese with me.

Brother Jim: And, uh, one of the ladies, Barbie from church, she was

Brother Jim: jumping up and down because my competitor was, uh, Senor Salsa.

Brother Jim: And she had a thing up brewing

Brother Jim: the Nacho man or something about

Brother Jim: Senor Salsa.

Brother Jim: And I wanted to rip that sign up.

Brother Jim: And kids were just going wild

Brother Jim: and they're like, whoa, this is

Brother Jim: awesome.

Brother Jim: Doing a lot of woo and, uh, even got the chair out.

Brother Jim: David.

Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah.

Brother Jim: When Salsa Man came out, I grabbed the chair.

Brother Jim: He was gonna lay one into him, but, uh, what a great time.

Brother Jim: And, uh, my daughter Ellie, who's been on here before, she

Brother Jim: has her Bible ministry.

Brother Jim: She gave out thirteen Bibles that night, fifteen for the

Brother Jim: week, but thirteen right there.

Brother Jim: And this young.

Brother Jim: Well, he's not young.

Brother Jim: He's fifty.

Brother Jim: This dude's a heck of a drum player.

Brother Jim: And he comes up and he's so proud.

Brother Jim: Jason's his name.

Brother Jim: And, uh, he had his new Bible and he's like, hey, can you show

Brother Jim: me some scriptures on that?

Brother Jim: So I got him set up there and he's like, man, I'm going home

Brother Jim: tonight and read that.

Brother Jim: And I tell you, David, that just that's awesome.

Brother Jim: One for my daughter.

Brother Jim: Yep.

Brother Jim: You know, I can't help it.

Brother Jim: It just moves my heart.

Brother Jim: Thirteen in doing this, but then

Brother Jim: this dude that just I'm like,

Brother Jim: about.

Brother Jim: Can we get a license?

Brother Jim: The clerk replied, no, but I can give you a three days.

Brother Jim: And you know, Dave and I was talking about that too.

Brother Jim: I wouldn't be such a bad idea.

David: I think there should be a test or a test something.

Brother Jim: And I think like a thirty day trial period.

Brother Jim: If you don't like it, bring them back.

Brother Jim: No refund.

David: But I said one time, this is completely off of that.

David: But I got in an argument one time with a with a friend, and I

David: was being kind of serious, but not totally serious.

David: I said, you know, you should be required to pass a test in order

David: to vote because we have a lot of uneducated people take the five

David: minutes to educate themselves.

David: They just go pull the lever.

David: And he's like, well, how can you say that everybody should have

David: the right to vote.

David: Yes they should.

David: However, if you're going to take the civil responsibility to

David: vote, take the time to educate yourself on the topics.

Brother Jim: Educate yourself on who is the best candidate, what is the best

Brother Jim: policy coming up.

Brother Jim: You know this tax and you see tax.

Brother Jim: Well that's an automatic no. But

Brother Jim: maybe there might be good in

Brother Jim: that.

Brother Jim: You know take the time or levy.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You know you never know at least at least read the do a little

Brother Jim: bit of homework.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And I'm just going to say it, I don't care.

Brother Jim: You got the New York mayor requiring, what was it?

Brother Jim: Seven different forms of ID just

Brother Jim: to shovel snow when they got hit

Brother Jim: here.

David: I mean, it required any form of shovel.

David: Snow is just ridiculous.

David: But.

Brother Jim: Yeah, and I'm just saying it.

Brother Jim: I mean, come on.

Brother Jim: The our voting system.

Brother Jim: I'm sorry you can agree or disagree with me, but it's so

Brother Jim: out of whack anymore.

Brother Jim: There's just too many.

David: Too many variables.

Brother Jim: Too many variables and oopses.

Brother Jim: Yeah. You know, and, uh, yeah,

Brother Jim: but I just thought that was

Brother Jim: crazy.

Brother Jim: Crazy.

Brother Jim: And I couldn't help but think.

Brother Jim: What about all the liability?

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: How many heart attacks happened?

David: Right?

David: No kidding.

Brother Jim: Or slips?

Brother Jim: Broken hips, you know.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: How many shovels got taken?

Brother Jim: Oh, what's this country coming to?

Brother Jim: I tell you, but, uh.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And I honestly think to to have a baby, you know?

Brother Jim: You know, one of the most precious, greatest gifts a

Brother Jim: person can have.

Brother Jim: Uh, and oh, my Lord, what have we done?

Brother Jim: It just.

Brother Jim: And it breaks my heart for the ones who would be good mom and

Brother Jim: dads that can't have children.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: And then you got the one who's, hey, we're after dark ones who

Brother Jim: are struggling with mental or, um, drug problems or, you know.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Not living a healthy lifestyle per se with, uh, illegal

Brother Jim: substances and they're popping out kids right and left.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Who suffers from that?

David: Yeah. Well, the kids do.

Brother Jim: The kids do, but yet also the taxpayers do.

Brother Jim: And again, the kids first, always the kids.

Brother Jim: But it's just so sad.

Brother Jim: And then the grandparents and the great grandparents who have

Brother Jim: to raise these children.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: It's it's not right.

Brother Jim: So again, but if we would go back to the Word of God and do

Brother Jim: it the way God says to do it.

Brother Jim: We wouldn't have that problem, right?

Brother Jim: Wouldn't have that problem.

Brother Jim: So. All right.

Brother Jim: Today, your appearance may impress people, but your heart

Brother Jim: is what matters to God.

Brother Jim: Kind of sounds a little bit of what we were talking about.

Brother Jim: Uh, Tuesday night there.

Brother Jim: Ah, now we're going to talk about our outward appearance.

Brother Jim: Outward appearance.

Brother Jim: One of the most important teachings in the Bible is what

Brother Jim: God is, that while God looks at the heart, are outward lives

Brother Jim: should reflect our inward faith.

Brother Jim: So first off, we submit to God.

Brother Jim: We repent of our sins.

Brother Jim: We ask Jesus Christ to come in as our Lord and Savior.

Brother Jim: Transformation starts now.

Brother Jim: The transformation starts from the inside.

Brother Jim: But it should.

Brother Jim: It should if we're doing it right.

Brother Jim: Come to the out.

Brother Jim: And you know that's a compliment a Christian can get is from like

Brother Jim: one of his old buddies.

Brother Jim: Dude, what happened to you, man?

Brother Jim: You've changed, you know, now

Brother Jim: Critique or that can come in bad

Brother Jim: critique.

Brother Jim: Whatever, I don't care.

Brother Jim: You know, I am who I am.

Brother Jim: Still the same dude.

Brother Jim: But I've changed.

Brother Jim: You know, I'm still Jim.

Brother Jim: You know, still love you.

Brother Jim: But I'm living a different lifestyle now.

Brother Jim: I'm living for somebody.

Brother Jim: I'm not living for me.

Brother Jim: I'm not living for this world.

Brother Jim: I'm living for God.

Brother Jim: And for Samuel sixteen seven.

Brother Jim: The Bible says people look at the outward appearance, but the

Brother Jim: Lord looks at the heart.

Brother Jim: Uh, that was from our last one there.

Brother Jim: This reminds us that the heart is what matters most to God is

Brother Jim: in our hearts.

Brother Jim: Will eventually show on the outside.

Brother Jim: Huh?

Brother Jim: Now let's think about that.

Brother Jim: What would be an example?

Brother Jim: How about there's always a good one?

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You know, one of those guys throwing stuff.

Brother Jim: You ever throw something, David, out of anger?

David: Oh, plenty of times.

Brother Jim: Ah, yes.

Brother Jim: You bust your wrench or knuckles on a wrench, and that wrench

Brother Jim: goes flying, and usually the wrench hits something.

Brother Jim: Then you broke something.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: So you never win?

Brother Jim: Yep.

Brother Jim: Not saying it still doesn't happen once in a while, but that

Brother Jim: anger is a lot calmer.

Brother Jim: Not throwing stuff.

Brother Jim: Not, you know, being a knucklehead.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Do I get angry?

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: When something frustrated more.

Brother Jim: Yep.

Brother Jim: Just frustrated.

Brother Jim: Like, seriously?

Brother Jim: Just like tonight.

Brother Jim: It's it's not like we're going to die for over this.

Brother Jim: Right?

Brother Jim: But it's frustrating.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You know, but again, not song, you know?

Brother Jim: Oh, be careful what you say.

Brother Jim: Little ears are hearing what you do.

Brother Jim: Little eyes are watching, you know.

Brother Jim: And kids are so smart.

Brother Jim: And they pick up on everything.

David: They sure do.

Brother Jim: Yes. And about the time they hear Daddy or mommy, you know,

Brother Jim: say slip and say something.

Brother Jim: And then they bring it up in conversation, not knowing.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Who's going to be wearing egg on their face?

Brother Jim: Yep.

Brother Jim: So, uh, yes, a godly outward

Brother Jim: appearance is not about pride,

Brother Jim: fashion, or trying to impress

Brother Jim: people.

Brother Jim: Instead, it Instead is about living in a way that honors God.

Brother Jim: Now, David and I, you touched on that.

Brother Jim: You really try to impress people anymore?

David: No, no, I mean, great answer.

David: There's there's there's there's a time and a place like when

David: you're at work, you know, you can't just let her fly.

David: You know, you gotta, you gotta

David: maintain a certain form of

David: decorum.

David: But beyond.

David: Yes, beyond that, I'm, you know,

David: I'm, I'm closer to fifty than I

David: am forty.

David: And with me, it's just what you get is what you get.

Brother Jim: Exactly.

Brother Jim: But you, when you answered that

Brother Jim: earlier, you hit it right on the

Brother Jim: head.

Brother Jim: There's a time and a place.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And especially at work.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You know, you can't come in and.

Brother Jim: Dude, that was awesome.

Brother Jim: You know, when you're coming in, you know, from the clothes you

Brother Jim: wore two days ago.

David: Talking to the CEO.

Brother Jim: Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

Brother Jim: So there is a time to taking, you know, take pride in how you

Brother Jim: appear, you know?

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: There's situations.

Brother Jim: Situational awareness, uh, and

Brother Jim: trying to impress people that

Brother Jim: went out the door a long time

Brother Jim: ago.

Brother Jim: You know, I'm more worried that my big thing is, am I being am I

Brother Jim: allowing God to use me to use what he gives me to do a sermon,

Brother Jim: to talk to people?

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You know that it how do you you want to do a good job, right?

Brother Jim: But it's not for you.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You're representing God, the kingdom.

Brother Jim: And to me, there's a huge difference there, right?

Brother Jim: But I'm also the first to say

Brother Jim: that you want to put a smile on

Brother Jim: my face.

Brother Jim: Man, that was a good message, dude.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Again, it's not.

Brother Jim: And it's.

Brother Jim: Well, praise God for that, right?

Brother Jim: At least somebody was listening.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You know, you're probably like,

Brother Jim: uh, the practice players on the

Brother Jim: NFL.

Brother Jim: You know, maybe a couple of them

Brother Jim: get dressed to come up for the

Brother Jim: Super Bowl.

David: Mhm.

Brother Jim: You know, it's like you really didn't do anything, but you're

Brother Jim: still part of the team.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Through your actions, you helped the team get ready.

Brother Jim: So that's how I see it.

Brother Jim: So you win the Super Bowl.

Brother Jim: You're part of that.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: We're going to celebrate.

Brother Jim: Sure.

Brother Jim: One lost soul comes to Christ.

Brother Jim: We're going to celebrate.

Brother Jim: I mean, look at the angels.

Brother Jim: What they do.

Brother Jim: It's in heaven when one lost soul comes.

Brother Jim: So yeah, I don't think there's me personally.

Brother Jim: I don't see anything wrong in it that it makes me feel good being

Brother Jim: used by God, right?

Brother Jim: I'm just like one.

Brother Jim: I'm the monkey wrench in the toolbox, you know, or whatever.

Brother Jim: Uh, but, uh, living, living in a way that honors God, the way we

Brother Jim: dress, speak, act, and treat others should reflect that we

Brother Jim: belong to Christ.

Brother Jim: So in saying that, you're never

Brother Jim: going to get Brother Jim in a

Brother Jim: pair of jeans or, uh, Spanx or,

Brother Jim: I don't know, is that a girl

Brother Jim: thing?

Brother Jim: Spanx.

David: I think they may have male versions of Spanx, too.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah, turtlenecks.

Brother Jim: Forget about it.

Brother Jim: Um, I usually try to dumb down a lot of my words because I'm

Brother Jim: getting in there.

Brother Jim: Send them in.

Brother Jim: Synonyms.

Brother Jim: Synonyms.

Brother Jim: Synonyms.

David: Easy for you to say.

Brother Jim: Yeah. Uh, I use that a lot too, because.

Brother Jim: Okay.

Brother Jim: I want to understand this so I

Brother Jim: can explain it better because

Brother Jim: there's a lot of big words out

Brother Jim: there.

Brother Jim: Oh yeah.

Brother Jim: And it's like, okay, this isn't me.

Brother Jim: And I imagine the congregation be like, who's this guy?

Brother Jim: You know?

Brother Jim: Yeah, keep it simple.

Brother Jim: Keep it stupid, you know?

Brother Jim: Kiss.

Brother Jim: Yep.

Brother Jim: Carrie hates that, but it is.

Brother Jim: Keep it simple.

Brother Jim: Keep it stupid.

Brother Jim: Because to me, relatability.

Brother Jim: Relatability.

Brother Jim: Now, David could come in here

Brother Jim: and blow me away with all his

Brother Jim: tech talk, and I wouldn't have

Brother Jim: any idea what he's talking

Brother Jim: about.

Brother Jim: So David dumbs it down for me.

Brother Jim: So, uh.

Brother Jim: Yeah, not saying that I don't.

Brother Jim: That's a bad way for me to say that for church.

Brother Jim: Being relatable, using words that people understand.

David: Well, you don't want to relate.

David: Yeah.

David: You don't want to talk.

David: You know, above people like look at Those people who are dumber

David: than you are.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: So and I said, everybody knows

Brother Jim: I'm a couple fries short of a

Brother Jim: Happy meal.

Brother Jim: So you know, I got that going for me at least.

Brother Jim: Uh, but yeah, the way we dress,

Brother Jim: speak, act now, I'm sure some

Brother Jim: people, you know, wearing the

Brother Jim: Bigfoot hat.

Brother Jim: Oh my goodness, that could create a bunch of controversy.

Brother Jim: I can hear a couple passes right now.

Brother Jim: It's fun for us.

Brother Jim: It's just our thing.

Brother Jim: Yep.

Brother Jim: You know, and I never bring that

Brother Jim: into biblical or anything like

Brother Jim: that.

Brother Jim: It's just our thing.

Brother Jim: My wife and I, you know, and our

Brother Jim: grandson now, uh, we have fun

Brother Jim: with it.

Brother Jim: Now, if I ever felt that it would be leading, you know, to

Brother Jim: something demonic or anything like that, then no, we kibosh

Brother Jim: it, but it's just fun.

Brother Jim: Um. So, uh, the way we treat others.

Brother Jim: There we go, David.

Brother Jim: How we treat others.

Brother Jim: And that's probably one of the toughest ones we face in life.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: We're commanded to love our neighbor.

Speaker 2: Who is bad.

Brother Jim: There are times I love this porcelain pig idly more than I

Brother Jim: do people sometimes now.

Brother Jim: And I've struggled with that.

Brother Jim: And I've come to the point, yeah, I love them.

Brother Jim: Do anything for you, but I don't really like who you are and what

Brother Jim: what you represent.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And that's how I take it.

Brother Jim: You know, either love me or hate me.

Brother Jim: It's just.

Brother Jim: We don't have to put up with the nonsense, right?

Brother Jim: Yeah, you don't have to.

Brother Jim: Yeah, I can still.

Brother Jim: I love you, man, but I just.

Brother Jim: I'll be honest.

Brother Jim: There's some people I don't even want to be around.

Brother Jim: Yeah, because there's such a negative, you know.

Brother Jim: Just a negative flow of energy.

Brother Jim: Their spirit gives off just such nastiness.

David: Oh, now we have the keyboard warriors who think that they can

David: say anything they want just because they're behind a

David: keyboard, I. Guarantee you they wouldn't say ninety percent of

David: that stuff if they.

David: If they had to look.

David: You face to face and say it.

Brother Jim: You know.

Brother Jim: Yeah. No, no, everybody's a bad man.

Brother Jim: And you know.

Brother Jim: Now, uh, treating others.

Brother Jim: I think we failed in so many ways on that one and how we

Brother Jim: treat our kids.

Brother Jim: I tell you, Ellie, for girls.

Brother Jim: And by far she is going through the worst with the drama.

Brother Jim: And Ellie's got a big heart, and

Brother Jim: she doesn't cause drama, but

Brother Jim: getting sucked in, trying to be

Brother Jim: the peacemaker and this and

Brother Jim: that.

Brother Jim: And it's just amazing.

Brother Jim: And she has not learned.

Brother Jim: And I know this sounds horrible, but you can't trust people.

David: No.

Brother Jim: It's just a fact.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Now, and I know again, that

Brother Jim: probably sounds horrible for me

Brother Jim: to say that, but there are some

Brother Jim: people you just know you can't

Brother Jim: trust them.

Brother Jim: It's just if I tell David a secret.

Brother Jim: And I know David's one of the biggest gossipers around.

Brother Jim: David isn't okay, but you know, then why are you even you know

Brother Jim: what's going to.

David: Happen, right?

David: You know, telegraph, telephone, tele so and so.

Brother Jim: Yeah, exactly.

Brother Jim: That old saying there.

Brother Jim: And that's tough for a young

Brother Jim: thirteen year old hormones and

Brother Jim: everything because she sees the

Brother Jim: eyes through a different set of

Brother Jim: lenses.

Brother Jim: And that's tough for me because through my own experience, not

Brother Jim: everybody is nice.

Brother Jim: Not everybody is kind.

Brother Jim: And there's a lot of people out there that just gets their

Brother Jim: jollies hurting people.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And bringing them down.

Brother Jim: And how do you explain that to a thirteen year old until you

Brother Jim: actually, it's one of the things I hate to say it.

Brother Jim: I think you have to go through it.

Brother Jim: You have to be hurt.

David: Sadly.

David: Yes.

Brother Jim: Yeah. To, to kind of start developing that skin.

Brother Jim: But then also on the godly side

Brother Jim: of it, you still got to love

Brother Jim: him, honey.

Brother Jim: You just got to pray for him, you know, pray for them.

Brother Jim: And that's tough because still Father Instinct kicks in.

Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah.

Brother Jim: But, uh, first Peter three three to four.

Brother Jim: Your beauty should not come from

Brother Jim: outward adornment, such as

Brother Jim: elaborate hairstyles and the

Brother Jim: wearing of gold jewelry or fine

Brother Jim: clothes.

Brother Jim: Rather, it should be that of

Brother Jim: inner self, the unfading beauty

Brother Jim: of a gentle and quiet spirit

Brother Jim: which is of great worth in God's

Brother Jim: sight.

Brother Jim: In first Peter, uh.

Brother Jim: First Peter three three to four.

Brother Jim: The Bible teaches us that our

Brother Jim: beauty should not only come from

Brother Jim: outward adornment, but from the

Brother Jim: unfading beauty of a gentle and

Brother Jim: quiet spirit.

Brother Jim: So again reiterated a gentle and quiet spirit.

Brother Jim: Now, that one's tough for me, David.

Brother Jim: I'm just loud.

Brother Jim: And, uh.

Brother Jim: And, you know, like today I had class.

Brother Jim: Like with the attitude going in.

Brother Jim: Just be quiet.

Brother Jim: You know, you don't have to talk

Brother Jim: all the time, you know, and it's

Brother Jim: just like.

Brother Jim: It's like putting a can of cold Pepsi in front of me.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Eventually I'm going to crack

Brother Jim: and have to open it up and take

Brother Jim: a swig.

Brother Jim: And then once I start, it's

Brother Jim: like, uh oh, this was so good,

Brother Jim: you know?

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Uh, but yeah, it's and I do enjoy going into a conversation

Brother Jim: with a group of people and just kind of listening for a while,

Brother Jim: like a poker game.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Not that I've played poker,

Brother Jim: really, but, you know, watching

Brother Jim: the gambler and that reading

Brother Jim: people, you know, and saying,

Brother Jim: okay, trying to figure out who

Brother Jim: is who is the arrogant one out

Brother Jim: of the group, who's the quiet

Brother Jim: one?

Brother Jim: Who's the one that has done it

Brother Jim: all, you know, and what he

Brother Jim: hasn't done isn't worth doing,

Brother Jim: you know?

Brother Jim: Just trying to read the room.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Before you start to engage.

Brother Jim: Um. And I, again, I don't know if that's right or wrong, but I

Brother Jim: think still, I personally believe that, you know, just

Brother Jim: keeping the, the Kanane lips here on the mouth.

Brother Jim: Quiet for a while till you know what you're getting into.

Brother Jim: And that's a tough thing, you know, especially with for men.

Brother Jim: I can only speak for men, but maybe that's why we don't open

Brother Jim: up so much.

Brother Jim: Yeah, because of trust.

Brother Jim: Is this guy going to sell me out?

Brother Jim: It's like the bro code is almost broken.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You know the man code of man.

Brother Jim: What you say stays with me and to where?

Brother Jim: You know.

Brother Jim: Or you go home and tell your wife.

Brother Jim: Well, then it's not being sexist people, but, you know, um, and,

Brother Jim: and again, how many people use gossip to that image management?

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: To bring people back.

Brother Jim: So they've got friends, you know, so it's a sad world

Brother Jim: sometimes this means that true godliness is shown through

Brother Jim: humility, kindness and modesty.

Brother Jim: When we follow the example of Jesus Christ, our outward lives

Brother Jim: begin to reflect his character.

Brother Jim: People will see patience instead

Brother Jim: of anger, love instead of

Brother Jim: hatred, and purity instead of

Brother Jim: worldliness.

Brother Jim: Our outward appearances should

Brother Jim: point people to Christ, not to

Brother Jim: ourselves.

Brother Jim: The goal.

Brother Jim: The goal is not to gain

Brother Jim: attention or praise, but to live

Brother Jim: in a way that brings glory to

Brother Jim: God.

Brother Jim: So the question we should ask ourselves is, does my outward

Brother Jim: life reflect the God who lives in my heart?

Brother Jim: When our hearts truly, when our heart truly, I mean really

Brother Jim: belongs to God, our outward lives will show it.

Brother Jim: Our actions, our words, and even our appearances will reflect the

Brother Jim: holiness and the love of Christ.

Brother Jim: Because a heart devoted to God will always produce a life that

Brother Jim: honors him on the outside.

Brother Jim: So in saying all that, how's your appearance?

Brother Jim: How's your inward appearance?

Brother Jim: How's your outward appearance?

Brother Jim: And remember, that outward

Brother Jim: appearance isn't going to get

Brother Jim: clean like this coffee cup here

Brother Jim: until it starts in here, you

Brother Jim: know.

Brother Jim: So why not start on the inside first?

Brother Jim: And you know what?

Brother Jim: That requires you being honest.

Brother Jim: That's a tough one, David, to admit I got faults.

Brother Jim: I got things that I can improve on, but that's a step, man.

Brother Jim: You gotta own it first, right?

David: Yep.

Brother Jim: You can read all the self-help books, listen to the videos, go

Brother Jim: pay to go to conferences.

Brother Jim: But to me, if it doesn't start

Brother Jim: right here and here, I got a

Brother Jim: problem.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Okay. Now, how can I fix this problem and admit it to me?

Brother Jim: Admit it to God.

Brother Jim: All right, Lord, I need you in

Brother Jim: this because I don't know where

Brother Jim: to go.

Brother Jim: So, uh, Mr. David, my friend,

Brother Jim: closing thoughts, comments for

Brother Jim: this segment?

David: Um, not really, but battling some audio issues over here.

David: So again, thank you.

David: Thank you for, for your patience with these bugs.

David: But speaking of audio issues, you know, we talked about

David: putting on appearances.

David: My wife told me a while ago that

David: she doesn't like listening to

David: the podcast.

David: She says, I don't like the way you sound on the podcast.

David: What do you mean you don't sound like yourself?

David: Like, well, I'm not, you know,

David: I'm not putting on any errors or

David: anything.

David: Again, what you see is what you get.

David: But it's, it's this, I've got this tuned in such a specific

David: way that it sounds more pleasing to the listener.

David: And she thinks I don't sound like myself.

Brother Jim: So every time I listen to myself, it's something.

Brother Jim: It's way off to me.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And I just start a complete ripping down of myself.

Brother Jim: Yeah, I've gotten better.

Brother Jim: But how I sound, I think sounds good.

Brother Jim: But when I listen to myself or

Brother Jim: watch, it's like, oh my

Brother Jim: goodness, you.

David: They say it has to do with the

David: the auditory bones because

David: you're getting that vibration

David: from the auditory bones in your

David: head.

David: So you sound different to yourself in your head than what

David: you really sound like coming back to you.

Brother Jim: Yeah. And that's a tough one to swallow.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Uh, and again, maybe a little pride there, but also, I don't

Brother Jim: want to sound dorky either, you know, nasally or you know.

Brother Jim: Right.

Brother Jim: Uh, I can't remember if I said it or not, but.

Brother Jim: Ellie.

Brother Jim: The other last Sunday, she's like, you know, dad, you got

Brother Jim: such a soothing voice when you talk up there.

Brother Jim: And I'm like, here it comes.

Brother Jim: Just wants to put you to sleep.

Brother Jim: I like the soothing voice part, but I think I try to go up and

Brother Jim: down on that David, don't I?

Brother Jim: I mean, with my voice bringing it up.

David: And yeah.

Brother Jim: I mean, I think I'm more on the aggressive side than a.

David: You're not you're not monotone.

Brother Jim: I'm not, you know, like reading a bedtime story.

Brother Jim: Oh, good evening ladies.

David: Slip into Barry White there.

Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah.

Brother Jim: Oh those are some of the guys I love the most can do the

Brother Jim: different voices, you know.

Brother Jim: I mean that would that would be a gift to have there to where

Brother Jim: you could really put some humor into a sermon on how, you know.

David: I mean, like Bob Uecker.

David: Yeah. The Lakewood in the off season.

Brother Jim: I wish you could have seen his face.

Brother Jim: He had it down.

Brother Jim: He had it down.

Brother Jim: Uh, but, uh.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: So keep it clean.

Brother Jim: Keep it real.

Brother Jim: My friends.

Brother Jim: Uh, well, friends, that just

Brother Jim: about does it for this late

Brother Jim: night edition.

Brother Jim: Uh, as we close, please remember you.

Brother Jim: Yes, you you have meaning.

Brother Jim: You have value.

Brother Jim: And most of all, you are loved.

Brother Jim: May God continue to bless you just as well.

Brother Jim: May you and I continue to thank our Lord above for our blessings

Brother Jim: each and every day.

Brother Jim: And if we meet again, well, then we will smile and rejoice.

Brother Jim: And if not, then this parting was well made.

Brother Jim: Thank you for joining David, myself and Ida Lee this morning.

Brother Jim: This evening, wherever you are

Brother Jim: at here on Bible bibs and

Brother Jim: prayer.

Brother Jim: This is the big guy, Brother Jim.

David: Out just a bit outside.
